DescriptionStretched and unframed painting. The Oakland cityscape as seen from Lake Merritt City Park, Oakland, California. In the right foreground, dark waters of lake; left, curving shoreline with dirt path on edge. Mid-ground, a bright green band of trees along the edge of the far lakeshore balances the light, cloudy sky above.
